A Box Of Fun

Recently, I have been taking cardboard boxes home from work for our baby ducks and chickens to live in.  Before it becomes a place for our farm animals to stay, Rogue and Blair like to play in them like it is the greatest toy ever.  Seeing my girls have so much fun in a cardboard box reminded me of the time dad brought some huge boxes home from S2 Yachts (it may have been more than once but I was too young to remember all the details.  Tammy or mom may have a better memory of this story).   He set up the box in the basement and made a play house out of it with windows and a door.  I remember having a blast in that box. 

DAD-ISM'S

I wanted to do a post to remember some a dad's famous one-liner's and/or quotes.  Dad always had a good come back to anything you could say.  I'm not sure how he thought so quickly sometimes.  Here are some of my favorite "dad-ism's".  Please add to the list as I KNOW there are so many more!

• Are you going to make a career out of that?  (for example:  someone turning into their driveway slower than dad would like them to)
• Do you have a monopoly on that? (I was asked that question often during my teenage years while using the bathroom)
• It’s a 4-way stop, not a parking lot.
• Yuppies
• Some of us have to work for a living (said to us kids while we were playing and he was leaving for work)
• Are you fake the jakein’ it? (Said to us over and over whenever we stayed home from school sick.  Sometimes I even began to feel guilty that maybe I really wasn't sick)
• Life ain’t fair
• Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then
• Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades
• Did you see that __________ (fill in whatever project he just did)?  That's darn nice!

Can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with!
